Gender Equality in Wartime: How War Changed the Role of Women in Society

The article analyzes the current state and promising ways of ensuring gender equality in the defense and security forces of Ukraine. The aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the resulting violation of territorial integrity, sovereignty, encroachment on Ukraine’s independence, brought to the fore the issue of overcoming gender stereotypes, establishing equality, and combating gender-based and sexual violence both in Ukraine and around the world. In these conditions, first of all, the state policy regarding the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was revised. This article focuses on the issues of military service from the point of view of equal rights, opportunities and equal value of the results of the activities of men and women. “Stereotyping” of their roles in resolving armed conflicts is one of the reasons for gender inequality within the security and defense sector of Ukraine. The author analyzed the number of armed forces of some foreign countries for genetic equality. Some countries already have female (or predominantly female) units, however, regular armies rarely involve them in direct combat. It is concluded that women play a significant role in the modern Ukrainian army, and recent events, in particular Russian aggression against Ukraine, continue to create instability in the world. And in such difficult conditions, our state, most likely, will have to exist for quite a long time. Therefore, it would be possible to significantly strengthen the defense capability of the country by attracting women to mandatory military service. The article also draws attention to the fact that in modern conditions there is a steady trend towards a significant increase in the number of women, the geography of the positions held by female servicemen is expanding significantly, but in order to ensure gender equality in the Armed Forces, the legislator must still improve the mechanism for taking into account the characteristics of social gender under time of military service. Moreover, the understanding of gender equality in the military should become established - not as a mechanical identification of men and women, but as taking into account the specifics of the capabilities of one or another social gender to effectively perform their official duties in certain positions with the most positive result.

Media and Women’s Economy: an Empirical Analysis of Gender Equality Construction of Salafi Congregation in Lampung

Gender equality is an important aspect of building harmony in the family. Salafis, with their teachings of Islamic purity, is considered a religious organization that severely restricts women's activities. This reality makes the public think that Salafi women are domesticated, subordinated, and discriminated against in terms of gender.

Third, the creativity of Salafi women in building homes as a place for entrepreneurship, no longer a domestic space, has been able to form alliances instead of causing conflict between home and workplace and clouding public perceptions that they are domesticated.

Gender equality in Swedish AI policies. What's the problem represented to be?

AbstractOver the past few decades, Sweden has established itself as a “world leader” in gender equality. Alongside this development, Swedish politicians have also initiated ambitious plans that aim to establish the country as “world class” in terms of digitalization. International research shows that women and racialized groups are in a minority in the design processes, that AI facial recognition systems are built with white male faces as the norm, and that digital tools replicate racial injustices. In this paper, we are interested in if, and if so how, gender equality is articulated and thus filled with meaning in national policies on AI and digitalization. The overall aim is to discuss the potential of gender (equality) mainstreaming to challenge systems of privilege in the implementation of AI systems in the public sector. The paper analyses how gender equality is filled with meaning in national policy documents on AI and gender equality. The main findings show that gender equality is turned into a question of lack of knowledge and information, which in turn blocks out an understanding of gender equality as something that is related to gendered power relations.

젠더 교육프로그램이 간호대학생의 젠더 감수성에 미치는 효과

For men and women to achieve healthy growth and harmonious development, it is necessary to cultivate the ability to form an equal social relationship that allows them to coexist while acknowledging the differences between men and women. According to the needs of the times, the need for sexuality education that can sensitively detect various gender issues occurring in daily life and strive to improve unreasonable situations. Therefore, this study was conducted to verify the effect of gender-based sexuality education program on gender sensitivity for nursing students. To this end, a gender-based sexuality education program consisting of eight sessions as part of the ‘Human and Gender’ curriculum was composed.
 This program includes an understanding of gender, understanding of gender equality, gender-related social issues, and self-reflection. This program was conducted from September 7 to November 2, 2021, for nursing students at university in D city. It was provided to all students and the effect of this program was investigated for 60 students who agreed to participate in this study and evaluated by an online survey was conducted before and after the program. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, paired t-test, and ANCOVA using SPSS Win 28.0 program.
 As a result of the implementation of the gender-based sexuality education program, it was found that there was a significant effect on the improvement of gender sensitivity(t=-4.89, p<.001). For each sub-factor, perception of gender role stereotypes (t=-2.29, p=.025), perception of sexual violence (t=-3.26, p<.001), perception of gender discrimination (t=-5.65, p< .001) showed a significant effect in all. And there was a significant difference in the gender sensitivities(t=-3.56, p<.001) of female and male students before the program's application. In the other hand, before the implementation of the program, the gender sensitivity (t=-3.56, p<.001), the perception of gender role stereotypes (t=-2.44, p=.018), and the perception of sexual violence (t=-1.89, p=.032), and gender discrimination perception (t=-3.80, p<.001) showed statistically significant differences by gender. In order to verify the effect of program application according to gender, pre-gender sensitivity scores were controlled and the difference in gender sensitivity after program application was verified. As a result, there was no significant difference (F=1.89, p=.174). It was confirmed that the developed program was an effective program for improving the gender sensitivity of both male and female nursing students.
 This study tried to provide basic data to suggest the direction of a sexuality education that can be applied in nursing education by verifying the effect of the gender-based sexuality education program on improving the gender sensitivity of nursing students.

Considering the characteristics of nursing studies targeting human beings, it is expected that by including it in the curriculum, it will be possible to raise the awareness of gender equality among nursing students and contribute to the spread of a healthy sexual culture.

Does Gender Matter? Women Entrepreneurs’ Influence In Venture Capital Syndicate Formation

Prior research suggests that women entrepreneurs are at disadvantage when seeking external funding. It is unknown if such disadvantage also exists in their selection of venture capital (VC) syndicate partners. In this paper, we propose that the gender impact can be on both sides. Women entrepreneurs’ ventures are more likely to be invested by syndicates of VC partners who have older funds and who are geographically distant from each other; but they are also more likely to obtain syndicated investments from VC firms who have better track records. Using a unique dataset of Internet-specific ventures that received VC investments, we found general support to our hypotheses. By examining gender influence on syndicate composition, this paper makes important contributions to our understanding of gender equality and entrepreneur-investor relationships.

Trends and patterns of gender research in Indonesian folktales: Implications for primary education

The increasing awareness of researchers on the importance of gender equality in various fields influences the field of Indonesian literature. Folktales that have been considered as a source of noble values ​​began to be re-evaluated. Various forms of depiction that allegedly contain gender injustice are questioned. However, attention to gender issues in Indonesian folktales and their significance to education has not received serious attention. Using the Google Scholar database regarding the publication of scientific journals of Indonesian researchers in 2015-2021, this paper identifies patterns and trends of Indonesian researchers in analyzing gender issues in Indonesian folktales. Furthermore, a discussion of the implications of these findings for education is presented. This paper argues that the study of gender issues in folktales is still primarily focused on textual analysis. Applied research is needed that focuses on efforts to reconstruct stories from a gender perspective and use them in students’ reading texts, especially in primary education. In Indonesia, at the primary education level, folktales are often used as children’s reading material. Through these studies, an understanding of gender equality can be taught from an early age.

Hong Kong’s sex discrimination ordinance at twenty-five: Achievements, legislative change and continuing challenges

This article critiques Hong Kong’s Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO) as it turns 25, considering its achievements and impact, whilst highlighting continuing challenges for its operation. Although the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), the statutory body responsible for investigating and conciliating discrimination complaints, has promoted the ordinance and disseminated evidence-based research on sex discrimination, sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination, the limited number of litigated cases has inhibited the educative impact of how discriminatory practices are perpetrated across a range of settings including in employment and the provision of goods and services. Politically contentious exemptions persist, and recent law reform does not go far enough in addressing the limitations of the SDO. Drawing on case law and qualitative research interviews with members of the EOC, scholars and non-governmental organisations, this paper questions whether Hong Kong’s SDO is coming of age. The article concludes that despite it 25-year history, there is much works that remains to be done to enhance societal understandings of gender equality.

New Pathways to Understanding and Promoting Gender Equality

Despite making important strides, gender inequality remains a significant problem. Men still enjoy higher status than women and the belief that society values masculinity more than femininity prevails. Occupational segregation by gender also continues to persist and diversity efforts to promote gender equality are found to be largely ineffective in attracting and retaining women in organizational settings. It also remains unclear how the new perspective of gender as a continuum influences the broader notion of gender equality. This symposium includes four empirical papers that seek to address some of these limitations. Specifically, drawing on the empirical findings of the four included studies, this symposium proposes new pathways to understanding gender amidst a “gender revolution” (Brooks, 2019) and promoting gender equality in contemporary organizations and society. These studies have theoretical implications for advancing our understanding of gender equality in management research, as well as, practical implications for organizations striving to mitigate biased judgment and improve their diversity levels.

‘It’s a total no-no’: The strategic silence about gender in the European Parliament’s economic governance policies

The European Union’s (EU) economic governance is pivotal for gender equality in the EU, yet gender equality concerns have been sidelined in governance processes. This article analyzes the struggles involved in integrating a gender perspective into the EU’s economic governance in the European Parliament (EP). It explores how the EP, often perceived as a champion of gender equality, constructs gender in relation to economic governance and how conflicts between the EP’s political groups and committees influence the EP’s ability to challenge gendered inequalities related to the governance regime. This article reveals that the EP’s positions have been characterized by strategic silence about gender and understandings of gender equality as a productive factor that legitimized gendered policies. Party-political conflicts and compromises that have sidelined critical views, and a boundary between social and economic issues and actors, were key barriers for the integration of critical gender perspectives.

Gender stereotyping and retro-sexism in advertising discourse from a postfeminist perspective

Negative female stereotypes and the portrayal of women in traditional and non-agentive social roles prevail in advertising. Advertisers believe that it is an effective advertising strategy to misuse postfeminist standpoints, stressing liberated womanhood and constructing a universe where women have gained it all and men have to reconquer their lost ground. This article analyses the appropriation of postfeminist discourse with the aim of showing how negative and even demeaning female stereotypes and clichés are represented, and by doing so, how a retro-sexist imagery is constructed within the advertising discourse. Undertaking a case study analysis of an advertising campaign of the brand IWC, a luxury brand for watches, and applying a feminist critical discourse perspective (Lazar, 2005, 2007), which shows the gender asymmetries in discourse, it is argued that advertising perpetuates misbeliefs about women’s roles in society and reinforces demeaning female stereotypes in the collective imaginary about the understanding of gender equality.

LGBTI Sexualities and intersectional research

We examine testimonies pertaining to the integration of a gender perspective beyond the dichotomy man-woman into practices of affective-sexual adult learning and education (ALE). We are interested in inclusive practices able to expand voices from specific vulnerable groups against discriminations and multiple oppressions among the aged when belonging to LGBTI Communities. The framework is based on post-feminist contributions, to allow for a democratic understanding of gender equality as well as to integrate population sectors suffering from different types of gender-based violence, such as non-heterosexual, trans and intersex people. The narrative literature review method was chosen, and international scientific search engines and databases were consulted to find literature in Portuguese, Spanish and English. A total of 25 educational interventions were selected for analysis. To discuss the data, we resorted to Barragán’s (1996) theoretical models. The results show a small number of internationally documented experiences on affective-sexual education with the elderly and adults
